Photorific!

I just want everyone that reads my diary to know what I went through to get pictures on this thing. I rushed rushed rushed to get my hook holder finished so I could get a picture from my crappy camera outside before the sun went down. My camera refuses to take pictures indoors with unnatural lighting so I'm forced to take pictures during the day, at peak sun times. Considering it's been overcast all day, luck wasn't on my side to start with.

I finally finished it while sitting through Dead Man Walking, and rushed to get it outside to get a picture.

Whaddya know? My batteries are dead. I came in and pouted for a few minutes then got a bright idea. My camera doubles as a web cam, so I thought maybe I could take a video feed and print screen on a frame I liked. It worked, with better results than I expected. So without further ado;

Here's my crocheted hook holder all closed up.

I used this pattern and elaborated a bit. For decoration it uses a cute little flower with leaves. I chose to make a star instead because I like stars much better. It also didn't call to do a border around the edges, but I thought it looked more finished. It was my first crocheted button as well

Here it is all opened up and showing off my hook collection.

There's also a beaded stitch marker that Hammie made for me, my matchbook style files that a fairy crochet mother sent me, scissors and my measuring tape from The Spinster.

Last but not least is the baby socks I've been working on. They're so cute I don't care that I don't have kids! I get to make them and not have to worry about washing them because they got spit up on them

I'm pretty proud of that case. I finally have something that I can store my hooks in without them rattling around and causing a racket every time I need to hunt for a hook. Plus, I put them in order so I know exactly where to find the one I need. Until I was putting them away I was completely unaware of the fact that I had 3 G hooks! Unbelievable lol.

I'm going to go take a short nap with my hubbie man and when I get up I think I'll work on crochet along squares
